Docs the Creamery PaHl

ED. JoURNAL:-In your last issue
we notice that So thinks the cream
cry does not yield any profit, which
leads you to inquire if farmers are
not realizing as much by the cream
cry process as they could by making
their own butter. AS this Is an I'M
portant subject, we desire briefly to
answer your query as best we can,
from the stand point of a butter max
er. We have made some inquiry since
last week, and every farmer we have
approached who patrOnizes the cream
cry. declares unhesitatingly that he is
the gamer by the creamery system.
Some have told us that they were
receiving more than they had expect
ed, others that it was better than the
old way, others that their cows pay
full as well as ever from the same
amount of cream. and all agree that
besides being as we'll off as TO receipts
as by the old method, they are the
gamers in two particulars which are
vitality important. First the pay
comes in cash, promptly, thus saving
them all trouble of marketing, and en-
abling them TO make their purchases
where cash will serve them best.
Secondly, the drudgery of making but
ter at home is saved with all its an
noyanees and risks. Now, if in this
dry unfavorable season, in the very
start of the creamery, before it has
had time to fairly adjust itself to the
surrounding conditions, the results
are so favorable, we can see no reason
why one discouraging word should be
spoken of it, or why any should fly off
at tangent, so to speak. to invent
some untried enterprise, the success
of which is more doubtful than was
that of the creamery before it started.
The milk project spoken of 10y IS"
would tend to cripple the creamery
while there is no certainty that sue
cess would attend the enterprise, and
those who engaged in it would proba-
ably find more obstacles in the way of
success than they have yet dreamed
of. They would, no doubt, find that
it costs something to make market
for anything. and that by whatever
plan the business is conducted the
necessary expenses attending the es-
tablishing of trade, the securing of a
permanent market, would for long
time so consume proceeds that the net
returns would fall below creamery
profits; and we should expect to see
the project abandoned by all who en-
terrain the views of rs" concerning
the creamery, for the reason that
they would lack the patience to fully
test the matter if for no other reason.
The creamery is success, and will
become more and more priced by the
farmers if they rally TO its support,
and give their attention to the meth
DDS needful to furnishing it with the
best of cream. GOOD BUTTER.
